PG - 2244-7 AB - OBJECTIVE: To establish a method of detecting circulating immunoglobulin E (IgE) autoantibodies for BP180NC16A and evaluate its significance in bullous pemphigoid (BP). METHODS: GST-NC16A fusion proteins were expressed in Escherichia coli using the pGEX-2T expression system and purified by glutathione affinity chromatography.For optimal working conditions of enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA), checkerboard titrations were performed with serial dilutions of antigen. Also optimized dilution of secondary antibody was confirmed. Sera samples from 56 patients with BP, 24 healthy controls, 18 with pemphigus and 1 with Stevens-Johnson syndrome at our hospital during February 2011 to October 2012 were examined by the modified ELISA approach. The optimal cut-off point for a positive result was selected with receiver operating characteristic analysis. RESULTS: The optimized ELISA was performed with plates coated with 500 microg/ml GST-NC16A. And the optimal dilutions of sera samples and secondary antibody were 1: 10 and 1: 1000 respectively. According to the established cut-off value (0.549), 40 of 56 BP patients and none of controls had detectable levels of BP180NC16A IgE. CONCLUSION: The established ELISA provides a highly specific tool for the detection of IgE anti-BP180NC16A in BP patients.
